Depth of Field: Rectors’ Bowl XIV

Not everyone gets to play football under the O’Shaughnessy Stadium lights. So once a year it’s a treat to photograph the Rectors’ Bowl – where the graduate and undergraduate seminarians clash on a (slightly smaller) gridiron. This year the St. John Vianney JAXX stopped a late-game surge by the St. Paul Seminary School of Divinity Sons of Thunder to take the cup 19-12. Above is a small sample of the evening’s events.

The St. Paul Seminary School of Divinity and the St. John Vianney seminary duked it out under the O’Shaughnessy Stadium lights Sept. 28. The annual tradition, in which the graduate Sons of Thunder” take on the undergraduate “JAXX”, saw the undergrads take the cup 19-12. (Photo by Mike Ekern ’02)
